I DO NOT LIKE IT!!

You post that "Bitcoin is completely anonymous" and "Bitcoin has no fee". Both statements are not true so i stopped reading there.
If you want get people interested in Bitcoin, then first of all do not lie to them! Or else they will think Bitcoin is a scam and are done with it.
This is not helping.

It is far more not engaging to say pseudo anonymous instead of anonymous when the difference is so little for the general user.

Bitcoin's fees compared to PayPal or Stripe are so much lower, that the final conclusion for the general user is - not existent.

The whole concept is to talk about the final values the user gets. Not explaining every small and technical detail.

i see new user as customers who wants to buy bitcoin.
and you say to me it is ok to lie to them because it is still better for them thy just do not know it jet.
wtf? are you serious?
when i buy porn and my wife divorces me and i buy drugs and get jailed and then i come complaining and you tell me: well to be honest it is not anonymous but almost. i guess i would be facing charges again.
also you can almost every day read here stuff like this: why 0 confirmations after x hours? are bitcoins not supposed to be fast? oh bty 0 fee since it is free.
if you sell me a product and tell me it is free and i find out later that i have to pay fees every single time, then i will never buy from you again and most likely return the product. Maybe find some other altcoin which is free or at least dos not lie to me.
if you want to be taken serious you have to act serious. period.

I like the idea , but using Facebook is probably what will make this idea fail.
There is no active Bitcoin pages in Facebook , not even one as far as I know . It would be better If you buy "whybitcoin.info" or "whybitcoin.net" domains (they are available : https://www.godaddy.com/domains/searchresults.aspx?checkAvail=1&tmskey=&domainToCheck=whybitcoin.info ) and make a simple website layout or use Jekyll instead.

I think using facebook to share those ideas is good enough because many people use facebook. Most of people, because they can access facebook even they don't have smartphones.

And I think OP's idea is to introduce to people who don't know the worth of bitcoin, right?

Yes! The goal is to introduce Bitcoin's worth to people. This way when the content gets shared, more people will find value in it and when they find value, they will use it.

Bitcoin is not for everyone. There is no need to get ordinary people to use it. But there is a certain demographic that you should encourage people to read about it and get them interested. These people are usually male, coders or someone from the IT field, smart, open minded with a small penchant for activism and rebellion.

It is definitely for anyone who finds value in it. And this is exactly what we have to explain them- the value Bitcoin will bring them

Linking social media accounts are for Ripple people, not Bitcoin. We are seeing too many people flaunting their Bitcoin ownership on the internet, and they are making it easy for hackers and governments to target them. Bitcoin is like cash, pseudo-anonymous and it should stay that way.

What will happen, if a government who previously supported the Bitcoin idea, now turn against it and start prosecuting people who owns it. The first thing they will do to track down these people, is to turn to social media. ^hmmm^

This page has nothing to do with ownership.

It is just informative:)

I hope someone will come up with a short film not exactly like a documentary but a story that uses Bitcoin and to be released in Youtube so that we can all share or maybe someone can pool an amount of Bitcoin so we can run a contest to make a short film and make sure Bitcoin is there being used.

Well, best possible idea I can think of is money exchange, think of the fact that you can send someone in the far away country 1$ , you can't do that with fiat , for fiat you have expenses and you pay the banks commission and so on , in bitcoin you have miners fee which is around 2 cents last I checked if I am not wrong. You don't even have to pay that if you can wait but if you want to send it fast you can pay like 10 cents and send it right away. Thats cheap and worldwide.

Having a website in addition to the Facebok page is a great idea! I should definitely consider making one

However, the best and most efficient way to get someone interested in something is trough Facebook. Everybody is on social networks nowadays and has his attention there.

Yes, for get started explain to people using facebook is a great idea, because usually a person open the facebook more than once daily. It would be famous as much as we share and create more memes here about how many advantages bitcoin has, just like compare transaction with regular banks and people easier to understand it. Good job, we should share.

Need some spare btc for a new PC

Quote from: Daniel91 on August 10, 2016, 02:21:51 PM

Internet advertising can be one way but of course it's difficult because everybody advertise on Internet.
Other ways can be personal talks with friends and relatives (much more effective from my experience), share good testimonies in our FB and other social networks etc.
It's good to try to talk with main newspapers in the country.
Lastly, we should educate people about Bitcoin, maybe through public lectures, publish books, booklets etc.

I believe facebook pages like these are the best option, because it reaches to many, many people and if someone doesn't have a facebook profile there is a high chance that someone who does can and can help him. Also, can you put the link to this forum on the fb page? This is the best place for someone to come if he's new to btc.

https://www.facebook.com/Why-Bitcoin-1161569353908036/

Feel free to like and share.

All ideas are accepted!

I suggest this page to be owned by the community and everyone having ideas for getting people engaged with Bitcoin to post them here

Post your ideas for memes and posts here.

Let's tell the people what they are missing Cheesy

*In no way this page will ever be monetized!

I'm sorry but i'm not buying it. It seams more that you are using that notion " If i don't have benefit, i will not do it." , and i'm pretty sure you will monetize the page as soon as you get the chance.
People won't get interested in bitcoin over some bitcoin page, they will only do so if and when they feel the need for it, or get desire to invest in it. It just wont

Using social media as a pathway for more users to get into bitcoin is truly effective. At the same time social media makes mass adoptions, which is not good for a stabilized growth as it gets notified to most government.

But many of the people are not doing that right, if anybody open twitter or facebook campaign then only people here are try to move things to the worldwide and that also for campaign payment only not for the interest with bitcoins. We start to do that with interest then bitcoin will largely use by all the people.

I think using the social media platforms to advertise and promote Bitcoin could be good idea to getting people to use this powerful crypto currency.

Wow good domain suggestion.
OP i will also suggest you to use those domains and have simple page or wordpress template and start posting about bitcoin benifits as article and link up all social media accounts with those posts. However maintaining website, hosting cost, managing social media accounts daily will need much more effort so better you also add few ads in your blog so that you can actually cover your cost and time on maintaining site.
